Now this snake just didn’t want to leave. Mom’s pretty good at hooking them with the hoe and walking them down the road a bit but the snake just started acting all crazy, coiling and hissing, even striking at Mom (don’t worry, she’s smart enough not to get that close, I think). Eventually the snake did go under the house so we expect to see it again sometime soon.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww - we hate snakes! They're UGLY!
We hope Toby is okay!
Love ya lots,
Maggie & Mitch
Yes, my mom will scream automatically--until she figures out it's a black snake or a milk snake. She tells about the BULL snakes in NM that she used to deal with that act and sound like rattlers. Do you get that type? I'm glad it wasn't a rattler or Toby would have been toast!
love & wags,
River
now that's totally scary. we have never seen a snake and don't ever want to. we don't care if that was not one of the very bad poison snakes cuz he bit Toby and that's MEAN. snakes can't just go around biting dogs. that's giving them the bad reputation that they have. of course your mom was screaming. we would have been barking too! hee hee
woofs.
Very scary. I'm glad it was a good snake. My mom would be screaming a lot too.

WOO WOO
We sure how Toby has come out and isn't hurt from the little snakey bite! That sounds scary to me!
Norman, you are such a great storyteller, maybe you need to be a writer of books?
Your Mom is very very brave- Mom said - no way would she take a snake for a walk!

Norman you make us laugh! We all hope Toby is getting lots of treats and extra attention for his heroics. After all he did "take one for the team" today!!!
Mommy is a "desert rat" so she said that she wouldn't be too scared of Mr. Snakey!! But I wonder Norman....what would she do if one came around ME???
Smooches to ALL,
Willow
Is Toby ok now?
Cheers
Charlie
Oh Toby,
that must have been quite an ordeal. What if it had been the big bad snake? Please be careful. We have baby rattlesnakes, so G-Mom has to watch us every time we go outside. (cause we're so little and it would probably kill us) We very scared!

Wow, that is a very scary, evil creature. Please stay safe!! Especially from that Hugo guy.
Hugs, Kodak
